[solved] TextFieldStyle: Height of Rectangle does not correspond font size...

[digorydoo]

I have a TextField and want to give it a custom style:

@
TextField
{
id: blah;
anchors { left: test.right; top: test.top; }
font { family: "Arial"; pointSize: 14; }
style: TextFieldStyle
{
textColor: "#000";
background: Rectangle
{
color: "#FFF";
border.color: "#999";
border.width: 1;
radius: 4
// implicitHeight: 100;
// implicitHeight: blah.height;
}
}
}
@

The Rectangle is supposed to be as large as the text in the TextField. However, this is not the case: The rectangle is apparently given a constant height, ignoring whatever font size is set in the TextField.

If I set implicitHeight to some constant value, this'll work, but it obviously isn't what I'm looking for. If I set implicitHeight to the TextField's height, nothing happens (except that I saw an error complaining about anchor loop once.)

How do you do this correctly?

Hi,

Above example works for me. Tested on Qt 5.3.1, Ubuntu 14.04
@
Rectangle {
width: 300
height: 300

TextField
{
    id: blah;
    font { family: "Arial"; pointSize: 32; }
    style: TextFieldStyle
    {
    textColor: "#000";
    background: Rectangle
    {
    color: "#FFF";
    border.color: "#999";
    border.width: 1;
    radius: 4
}

}
}

Strange... I'm testing this on Windows and on Android, and it doesn't work on either platform! Qt 5.3.0

Can you try with Qt 5.3.1 ?

[digorydoo]

I'll check this as soon as I find the time. In the meantime, did you use these components:

@
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.2
@

Or some newer version?

[p3c0]

Yes
@
import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.2
@

Also worked with
@
import QtQuick 2.0

I've downloaded Qt 5.3.2, now the problem is gone!
